Will it serve any purpose now except to create a spectacular show. Very little preserved after 7.5 years and embalming.

If the magistrate goes through Hansard then opposition leader clearly mentioned a name of a current minister who would've committed this heinous crime......

Now the latest trend in SL is to exhume the bodies. This shows the capacity and capabilities of our law and order, police and crime intelligence of this country. Miracle of Asia.

Exhume Lasantha's body or Lasantha's skeleton? Why don't they just let him rest in peace and get on with their work?

Lasantha was my LEADER. Learned from him to speak loudly when it is time speak. That is why I spoke loudly and clearly that no President should be voted in more two terms. via DM Android App

This government wants to celebrate Malawunge Awurudu Da, when they have something to push under the carpet.

When crimes and murders are not solved, When the murders are not proved, It is the failure of the system. This results in Sri lanka being looked upon as a failed nation.

Politico the contrast between would have and had is like North Pole and South Pole. Should not try to mislead uneducated. via DM Android App

Israel PM Mr. Bibi is in power for ages! People of that country know who the best for sake of their country being on top is!

If she passed away under suspicious circumstance, it would have to be exhumed.

Grace Thursday, 08 September 2016 05:40 PM

@ Anura, Sri Lanka is not Israel in every aspect.
